A Drug Free Sport

It is known that illegal drug and alcohol use while competing in sport is unacceptable, but did you know that some of the medicine you take on a daily basis could also result in
disqualification or expulsion?

Some milder steroids can be found in over the counter drugs and perception drugs that can test positive on a drug test for performance enhancing drug use. You may not be using these drugs for
performance enhancement; you may not have been aware that the drugs you were taking had performance enhancers in them. This is why it is very important to check the list from the World Anti-Doping
Association (WADA) before taking any kind of medicine. WADA is a website updated yearly with new drugs that contain performance enhancers. This is a reliable and safe way for athletes to be
sure they are taking the right medicine and receiving the correct information. If you are taking any sort of medications, you are advised to consult the WADA site to ensure it is not on the
WADA Prohibited List. Consequences are, you or your team may be disqualified due to drug use by an
athlete or expulsion depending on the degree and number of offences. If you take a medication that is required, such as an inhaler for asthma, you will need to get a prescription from a health
care provider, available to be shown at any drug test. This will ensure the athlete goes unpenalized.

Nutrition Information

Hydration

Synchronized swimming is a great way to stay fit and have fun, but something we forget or simply do not notice, is how much we sweat while we are in the water. It is very important to keep
your athlete well hydrated, so you should always pack a full water bottle in your swimmer's bag to bring to practice. Sports drinks are also a good source of proper hydration to use during
training and has the added benefit of restoring electrolytes upon consumption.

Recommended Snacks Foods

It is important to fuel your athlete properly for each practice, so remember to eat a good meal before coming and pack a healthy snack in their bag. The snacks below are great
snack ideas that require no heating or cooking and are perfect for re-filling your athlete's energy stores.
